During delivery, there are a few ways to handle getting a pallet off of the truck.

 

The liftgate is a specialized piece of equipment that allows the driver to drop the pallet on the ground on a hard relatively flat surface.

 

The forklift is a customer-supplied piece of equipment that can quickly unload a pallet off of the back of the truck and drop it on the ground anywhere they customer wants.

 

A loading dock allows a truck to back-up and have the pallets easily pulled into the warehouse facility.
